M_V's multitude of bikes and adventures in the land of framebuilding

I think they're still relatively cheap in the US compared to Europe. I think I was talking to my LBS and they mentioned the 1x1 used to be a lot cheaper before the addition of disc mounts too but I can't remember exactly how that conversation went.

I can imagine you're right about the American v European pricing. To flip it around, I've seen Pompinos on US eBay going for several times what they cost here.

I also think though that as one of the sort of leaders of fatbike development Surly have seized the opportunity to fleece hipster pseudo adventurists with both hands and they've probably inflated the prices on the rest of the range to bring them more inline.

Going to look pretty sweet with the new bars, I was watching but not paying attention when they ended :(

Thank goodness, my max bid wasn't much more than they went for, definitely didn't need another bidder in there!
